Northern Michigan University (NMU) is proud to announce this year's Indigenous Perspectives Symposium on Food 2025, a one-day event dedicated to exploring the rich traditions, profound significance, and evolving future of Indigenous food systems. The symposium was held at NMU's Northern Center in Marquette, Michigan.
The symposium aims to bring together Indigenous leaders, elders, knowledge keepers, academics, and community members to share insights on topics ranging from traditional harvesting and sustainable land stewardship to food sovereignty and decolonization. Through a series of presentations, workshops, and communal meals, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the vital connection between food, culture, and identity in Indigenous communities.
